Create an itinerary including Happy Island
Cozy up with a cocktail in hand at the unique beach bar of Happy Island, where happy hour happens around the clock. The idea for this man-made island was born after a mounting pile of conch shells on the reef starting being used as a makeshift bar. Years later, the island serves as just that--a rum lovers' oasis in the middle of the Clifton harbor. Watch kite surfers nearby, take in the Caribbean landscape, taste some spicy wings, and sip cocktails under the sun. Make Happy Island part of your personalized Clifton itinerary using our Clifton visit planning website.

  • Thus far, we have visited this place twice and both times have been impressive. The first time was during the day and the owner of the place showed us some lovely photographs of when he first started it. He is extremely friendly and clearly works hard. The water was lovely and clear. During the day, it is a relaxing place to read a book and look at the beautiful water. Seriously, seriously strong rum punches. It was an extremely jovial atmosphere when we attended for the second time. There were several people in attendance from some nearby yachts. If you want to go to a place for a quiet drink, Happy Island at night is not quiet, at least not on this particular night. The music was great and there was also an impromptu conga line.
  • While boatin' in this part of the Grenadines, you don't want to miss this place. With its relaxed Caribbean atmosphere, great vibe, friendly owner it is a must stop. We have visited 2 times and would go out of our way to visit again.
  • What an amazing quirky little bar. The owner is lovely and his story on how he built the island is fascinating. You will not find a better bar to watch sunset in Union island. Do not miss out
  • Best spot for sunset in a relaxed, funny atmosphere. Good Pina Colada.
  • A great place to while away the afternoon. Plenty of rum! Tie the dinghy up outside.
